The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The Greeks explained the super-human abilities of their best athlete, Diagoras of Rhodes, in the following terms.

Diagoras was a great boxer in ancient Greece times. The Greeks said he has all the qualities and attributes of a great athlete. Indeed the great Greek poet Pindar immortalized Diagoras of Rhoades in one of his odes because Diagoras was a great winner in the Olympic games and all other competitions of the time. Every competition he participated in, he was a real winner. Part of the oral tradition of the time referred to Diagoras as a superhuman due to his athleticism. Some people dared to say that he was the son of God Hermes.
